Caffeine making me irritable

I’m on strong painkillers, and only manage to work part-time due to several health problems. The painkillers dull my thinking and leave me struggling to focus and remember things to do my job. For a couple of years I’ve been taking caffeine supplements to help with that during work. What I’m now finding is that they’re starting to make me bad-tempered and snappy. It’s making my working life miserable tbh. Is there anything else that I can take to help me focus so I can do my job? Right now I feel quite defeated by it, I can’t take a lower dose of painkillers because I’ll be in a lot of pain, which also make me irritable 😖
